I received the same offer from Mr. Thomson, and just ignored it. But next time I will certainly have fun with a reply that is similar to yours. Thanks for sharing it!

re: 'Mr. X', IMO I would say that this form of business 'introduction' in English would not be uncommon amongst Chinese businessmen. Here is an example (see contact details at bottom of the page): http://www.elkemcarbon.com.cn/En_index.htm

You did a great job shaking him up. Nice Show, thanks.

" Thomson" with "flawless" English and IP from India.
Omg, I'm laughing hysterically here... And please say hello to Fifi from me, since we were in the same class in high-school.

Well this guy approached me in 2007 as well, I did get duped. However at my first glance at PO I did notice the irregularity in his address but somehow I ignored it. then later I saw TX and I realised how TX can hbe in UK. Thats when I got the POint.
I am currently having some assignment as well, I am not very sure about this Guy as well. He has given a name Richard Wright from Cambridge UK. Anyone here has any ideas about it. I cant really comment as of now if this guy is fake but... See more Well this guy approached me in 2007 as well, I did get duped.

Let me know if anyone heard abt this guy.

IP address from India ??? I found the IP address in Mountain view, California.
I just happened to check this now? Dont know if this is showing the current location of the PC or the time when he wrote me email which was in 2007...

Hi, sorry, I just followed the comments in this thread, where someone said it is an IP from India. Read all the comments as someone mentioned this is IP from India. I am not sure how to check it anyway, so I trusted the comments here.
" Thomson" and California are still incongruous with the " poor English" , though

This is great. I live in Texas, and I am fairly certain there is no such place as Buckinghamshire Texas. Lol
